, 00:10, January 20, 2016Why Bernie won't do nearly as well as the polls are saying
The Republicans could waltz into the White House in the upcoming election. Donald Trump might be the next president of the United States. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 10:14, 19 January 2016 (EST)

:It looks like the Democrats have may have to choose between Bernie as a nominee or Hillary making a videotaped acceptance speech from her cell. There has been a series of articles published recently that argue that blacks are in Hillary's corner no matter what.[http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/run-2016/2016/01/17/yes-hillary-clinton-is-still-the-inevitable-democratic-nominee] That would imply that she could lose both Iowa and New Hampshire and then stage a comeback in South Carolina and other southern states. What did Hillary ever do for black people anyway? Back in the 1960s, blacks were crazy for Robert Kennedy -- who knows why?
:Black enthusiasm powered the Bill Clinton and Obama victories -- and it's not there for Bernie. To extend the Vietnam-era analogy, he is today's McGovern, an idol of white liberals that other demographics just don't get. Another reason Bernie won't do nearly as well as current polling suggests is that he has literally nothing to say about terrorism, currently the No. 1 concern of general election voters. When he was asked about San Bernardino, he quickly changed the subject to income inequality. Of course, he could turn this around with a little tough talk, as both Bill Clinton and Obama did. But a big part of Bernie's appeal thus far has been that he is seen as too "principled" for that sort of thing. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 19:10, 19 January 2016 (EST)
